Quesion about various Processors...???

[Amante18]

Ok so currently i have the amd 3800 dual core.. ect...

is the amd 4200 a better proc.
also what about the intel 820 or 920 ?
are those better proc.

let me know... im not that pc savy.

Core 2 Duo are the best now, hands down.

ok so core duo is an intel product

is it different than say intel 820 dual core ?

The 4200+ X2 is not only a faster model cpu it is also a better model for OCing. The 820 dual core is a Pentium D model cpu not a Core 2 Duo. It is the lowest priced Intel dual core model cpu. One review on the 820 2.8ghz model is seen at http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=145&type=expert

Did the 805 just disappear?

Any Core 2 Duo is better then any Pentium D at stock speeds.

And yes the 4200+ is faster, but it's hardly worth an upgrade from an X2 3800+.

Did the 805 just disappear?

No, it's still out there.

I guess you haven't read the sticky on gaming and OCing cpus too well. Without ocing you would move up in large increments to avoid constantly having to rebuild or modify in order to keep fairly updated.

The performance difference between the X2 3800+ and X2 4200+ is not sufficient to justify the upgrade.

The 4200+ X2 is not only a faster model cpu it is also a better model for OCing.

What makes you say that?

So your saying that he should remove his X2 3800+ from his machine, and purchase a new X2 4200+? The difference would not be noticable.

And OCing wise, he won't get much higher then he would with the X2 3800+.

The question asked there is the 4200+ X2 better then the 3800+ X2 model. If you were deciding which of the two to get for a new build then the 4200+ would have the edge. To upgrade from the 3800+ to boost performance you would want to go in a much larger increment with either the 4800+ X2 or FX60 models. The real problem is that just after going as far as you can in upgrading the present build some new model will start the process all over again. You have to jump in big leaps at times.

No thats not what he's saying. Read closely:

Apparently you keep missing out on what the response was. That question was answered. I know quite well what was asked. You may need to read http://www.computerforum.com/16346-overclocking-101-oc101.html just a little more carefully to see the answer there as well.
